Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I hope you’ve recovered from your food coma by now. God knows I haven’t. Nevertheless, onwards to the releases! I thought last week was bad. I don’t even have anything to put into the Releases to Watch For section this week. Unless you’re into dirt bike racing or 10ft tall blue aliens.
As I wrote in my review, Tekken 6′s online matches could use a whole lot of improvement. Namco Bandai actually listened to our complaints and will be releasing a free downloadable update to improve the online Tekken 6 experience for Xbox 360 and PS3 players. The update is scheduled for release November 26.
The good news is EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich is predicting median price drops for Xbox 360 and PS3 titles by $10.00 to $49.99, according to Edge. For years I always thought games would never rise above that price. The bad news is that the price drop is unlikely to occur until the holiday season 2010.
If the last month is the high school equivalent of finals, this week, and basically the entirety of next month, is like Summer vacation. Even the DS releases are below double digits! I hope I have something to even put in the Releases to watch for section. Well actually there is at least one game. Kinda.
Those lucky Brazilians. Edge reports that Sony is releasing the bright and shiny nine year old PlayStation 2 in Brazil for the U.S. equivalent of $445.00! Software prices will range from US$55.00 and US$66.00. 14 launch games will be available, like Gran Turismo 4 and God of War III. I’m guessing all this is the official, legal release.
PRESS RELEASE:
NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S today confirmed the Europe and PAL release of Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, the flight action game exclusively for Wii based on the acclaimed 2008 Japanese anime feature film from internationally renowned director Mamoru Oshii. The game will bring its unique blend of high altitude fighter action and beguiling Japanese anime production values to Wii players in Europe and beyond on February 2010.
Official Nintendo Magazine recently spoke with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, who said to expect surprises at next year’s E3. Nintendo plans to reveal an “overhaul” to the acclaimed series, though Aonuma was mum to any specifics.
Gamasutra reports that developer Pandemic, whose titles include Mercenaries, Star Wars: Battlefront, and the upcoming WWII sandbox adventure The Saboteur, will close its doors and consolidate with the Electronic Arts LA studio. The brand and franchises will continue, and The Saboteur is due to be released December 8.
It was inevitable. The latest version of Street Fighter gets an update without being a sequel. It’s OK though because we’ll play it whether it’s super, turbo, or hyper. Super Street Fighter IV will be arriving on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 in Spring 2010.
